Actress Sangeeta Bijlani Seeks Gun License After Farmhouse Burglary

Actress Sangeeta Bijlani has formally applied for a gun license following a burglary at her farmhouse near Pavana. The incident, which occurred around 3.5 months ago, has left Bijlani concerned about her safety and frustrated by the sluggish pace of the police investigation.

Bijlani recently met with the Pune Rural Superintendent of Police, who assured her that the authorities would "go to the bottom of the case and nab the culprits." However, despite the passage of several months, no significant breakthrough has been achieved.

Reflecting on the burglary, Bijlani described it as a "horrific incident" that has shaken not just her but the broader community in Pavana. The intruders broke into her property, vandalized household items, and made off with Rs. 50,000 in cash and a television valued at Rs. 7,000. They also left obscene graffiti on the walls, further unsettling Bijlani.

Citing the need for protection, especially when she visits the farmhouse alone, Bijlani has decided to seek a firearm license. She emphasized that this is the first time she has felt "insecure" and "a little afraid" in the 20 years she has been staying at the Pavana property.

As the case develops, the local police and Bijlani's team will likely push for faster resolution, while the actress awaits the decision on her firearm application. Bijlani expressed hope that the authorities will take stronger measures and expedite the investigation, thereby restoring confidence among residents in the area.
